Sensors and Actuators

We incorporated a servo motor into an Arduino setup. A servo motor is a precise actuator enabling control over angular or linear position, velocity, and acceleration in a mechanical system.

To make the setup, the components you need for it are include:

- Arduino Uno
- USB Lead
- 3 Breadboard Jumper Wires
- Servo motor SG 90

In order to operate the servo motor, we utilized its dedicated code provided within the Arduino application under File > Examples > Servo > Sweep. Prior to assembling the components, we referred to online resources to determine how to connect the servo motor's wires to the Arduino.

 

This code is a script for controlling a servo motor using an Arduino. The script includes a simple sweep function that moves the servo motor back and forth between 0 and 180 degrees.


The wiring configuration involves:
- Connecting the brown wire (Wire 1) to the ground (GND).
- Connecting the red wire (Wire 2) to the 5V pin.
- Connecting the third wire (Wire 3) to a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal pin on the Arduino.



In this video, I've demonstrated how the sensor responds when an object is placed in front of it, using my hand as the object for illustration.

RGB Values/LED Sensor

Image
RGB RGB stands for Red, Green, and Blue, the three primary colors used in digital color systems. Each color is assigned a value from 0 to 255, indicating its intensity. In the RGB model: - Red (R) value ranges from 0 (none) to 255 (full intensity). - Green (G) varies similarly. - Blue (B) follows the same range. Colors are defined by a combination of these three values (R, G, B). For example, black is (0, 0, 0), and white is (255, 255, 255). This system is used widely in digital displays and graphics to create a multitude of colors.

Potentiometer LED : A light-emitting diode, indicating power or other statuses. The photo shown above shows that there's a Arduino Uno connected to a board, called a breadboard, for testing out electronic circuits. Some colored wires link everything together. There's also a potentiometer to con...

Short Story

  In the not-so-distant future, Jason, a tech-savvy teenager, found himself smitten with a girl named Sarah. "ChatGPT, give me the perfect pick-up line for Sarah," he typed with a sly grin. ChatGPT replied, "How about this one, Jason: 'Is your name Google? Because you have everything I've been searching for.'"       Confident in the AI's wisdom, Jason messaged Sarah with the line. To his delight, she responded positively. The conversation continued, with Jason receiving witty and charming lines from ChatGPT, making him seem like a real smooth talker.       "Hey there, Jason! Your messages have been on fire lately," Sarah complimented.       "Thanks, just trying to keep up with your level of charm," Jason replied, secretly grateful for ChatGPT's assistance .       However, as the days went by, Sarah began to notice that Jason's responses were uncannily polished and lacked the genuine personal touch she appreciated. ...
